Haiphong Attractions--Pho Chieu Pagoda

This pagoda was built in 1953. When monk Thich Thanh Quang became abbot, he changed the name of the pagoda to Pho Chieu and only worshipped Buddha. It is currently the second largest temple in Hai Phong. According to historical records: During the Anti-French War, the pagoda was one of the secret bases for hiding party cadres. From 1954 to 1955, during the years of fighting against the United States, it became the headquarters of the Haiphong City Public Security Bureau Chief. For a long time, the pagoda suffered considerable damage, so in 1985, Abbot Thich Thanh Giac, together with the people and Buddhists, restored and rebuilt the pagoda, making the pagoda look brand new and as spacious as it is today. The highlight of Pho Chieu Pagoda is a small temple built in the lake, designed like the famous One Pillar Pagoda in Hanoi. It is worth taking a photo here. #Local Tour
